Event : Helper

Event - superclass: helper; super-superclass:node - 0:0 - classID: #(1962490627, 515064576) 

Description:

The Event lets you group Actions in Particle View to define the appearance of particles over a certain period of time. Creating instances of this class gives you empty holders that can be filled with Actions using the exposed Interfaces’ Methods.

Constructor:

Event... 

Event Interfaces:

The following Interfaces are exposed by the Event Class:

Interface: ActionList

Interface: PViewItem

Interface: MaterialHolder

EXAMPLE

   --Open the Particle View to watch the results:
   particleFlow.openParticleView()
   --> OK

   ev = event()--Create an empty Event
   --> $Event:Event 01 @ [0.000000,0.000000,0.000000]

   --In order to fill in the empty Event, we have to disable
   --the automatic Event encapsulation of newly created Actions.
   particleFlow.beginEdit()
   --> OK

   --Now we can create a new Birth action to add to the Event.
   br = birth()
   --> $Birth:Birth 01 @ [0.000000,0.000000,0.000000]

   --We can now append the new Birth Action to the empty Event:
   ev.appendAction br
   --> true

   --We can also create Action class instances
   --and append them to the Event in a single step:
   ev.appendAction (Position_Icon())
   --> true
   ev.appendAction (Speed())
   --> true
   ev.appendAction (ShapeStandard())
   --> true
   ev.appendAction (DisplayParticles())
   --> true

   --Finally, we can exit the Edit mode to enable automatic
   --Event encapsulation again:
   particleFlow.endEdit()
   --> OK
